Pomnik Walki i Męczeństwa monument in Bydgoszcz, Memorial monument at Old Market Square, Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Pomnik Walki i Męczeństwa is a bronze sculpture mounted on a granite base, depicting a group of figures captured at the moment of execution. The work rises over 7 meters above the western section of Old Market Square and forms a focal point of this public space.

The monument was unveiled in 1969 to commemorate the German occupation and executions that had taken place in Bydgoszcz 30 years earlier. It occupies the location where German forces had demolished the western side of Old Market Square in 1940.

The sculpture expresses the suffering and defiance of Bydgoszcz residents during World War II through its emotional composition of human figures. Visitors encounter a tangible representation of collective memory and resilience that resonates in the public square today.

The memorial sits in the western section of Old Market Square and is easily accessible from the street. Throughout the year, commemorative gatherings take place here where visitors can participate and pay respects.

The site where the sculpture stands was originally part of a row of buildings on the western side of the square that were completely destroyed during the occupation. This fact makes the monument a physical reminder of how the city was transformed by conflict.
